I describe the IR and X-ray campaign we have undertaken to determine the
nature of the faint discrete X-ray source population discovered by Chandra in
the Galactic Center. These results will provide the input to the FLAMINGOS-2
Galactic Center Survey (F2GCS). With FLAMINGOS-2's multi-object IR spectrograph
we will obtain 1000s of IR spectra of candidate X-ray source counterparts,
allowing us to efficiently identify the nature of these sources, and thus
dramatically increase the number of known X-ray binaries and CVs in the Milky
Way.Comment: To be published in Proceedings of 'A Population Explosion: The Nature
and Evolution of X-ray Binaries in Diverse Environments', 28 Oct - 2 Nov, St.
